Hello you and welcome: Will you please check out these verses.

Romans 5:
1Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

A person is justified by having faith on the Lord Jesus Christ.
By believing and trusting in God and his promises he shares:
You have and find peace with God through the Lord Jesus Christ.​


2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Through Jesus Christ our Lord you have access by this faith (trusting in the promises of God) - which is by Gods grace which you stand in when you believe and trust in them.
You can rejoice in hope because of the Glory of God in his promises.​

3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

Not only are we justified by having faith on the Lord Jesus Christ, and trusting in him and the Father and the promises he shares, and rejoice in the hope of the Glory of God.
You also are able to glory in tribulations - which in greek means to be pressured in a tight situations -
You can see that these situations of tribulations can have the outcome of patience
(and understanding of learning from the situation)​

4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

You can see that tribulations while having hope in Gods promises, and rejoicing through these experiences with Him will cause patience, and endurance to handle the next situation, that may come along.

Sometimes we fail, and are not patient and that is okay - Go back to God and ask him for help in faith and do not doubt his ability to help you - along with some scripture back up to help support you in those times and needs. (There are many scripture verses that can help us in our faith and help strengthen the holy spirit/spirit of Christ that lives with-in you.)​

5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Those sometimes we may fail, hope in trusting in God and the peace with have with him through our Lord Jesus Christ you may find the ability to rejoice instead of being ashamed for Gods grace is sufficient enough for you.

You should know the love of God is shed abroad in your hearts by the holy spirit which is given to you by your faith, and you are justified by faith, and have peace with God, rejoicing in Hope, not only in this but also tribulations that come along that causes patience, and experience.​

6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

Paul is writing about how when we were without strength - of our own accord by our own human nature - Christ Jesus came and died for all of us - the ungodly.

Now you are able to live by the strength of Christ Jesus by his spirit, and the holy spirit that is given due to your faith and trusting in God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, in hope.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

No comment here. = Just saying that it is very rare for people to die for other people.
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

God showed his love towards - us the ungodly ; while we were yet sinners - by sending Christ the Messiah the Anointed one Yeshua to die for us - all humans - whom was risen again by God afterwards.

Have any questions, or insights please feel free to share them, adding scriptural support for situations and tribulations we all experience that would be helpful too.

Thank you for reading, and may the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, Love of God, and fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you.

This is a great summary of the journey for a believer.

Sadly some refuse what God has done for us through Jesus Christ.

They refuse God's love and He seals their choice eternally.

That is a different journey altogether.

While the gift is offered to all - not all accept.

Having a phone conversation with someone who enjoy talking to Carl.

When finally getting to the mention of speaking about the True Creator God, and His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

The response is always the same; he exclaims that - forcing something on someone is wrong.

Though my retort is sharing is not forcing anything - Say he believes in a god (and claims not christianity), which is all fine by his own choice, the next thing that happens is persecution for me even mentioning God and Jesus Christ - though thankful having faith and trusting God and understanding the suffering all partake for the sake of christ, the only response one can do is have prayer, and try not to let it sit to long in our minds.

Because people can easily bring you down.

Thank you for your response Carl.

Do you have good fellowship and folks praying for you?

Evangelism is not an individual sport but we work together in a Body.

Attacks when sharing the Truth are inevitable.

We also need to learn to hear him to the point of Him saying - This one not that one... - Not this week next week.

Hey.... welcome to an exciting life of walking with Him and sharing His truth.
